Japanese Mustard Spinach - komatsuna (Tender Leafy Microgreen)

Japanese Mustard Spinach - komatsuna (Tender Leafy Microgreen) 2oz per clamshell Brassica rapa subsp. nipposinica This versatile Japanese green is called mustard spinach, spinach mustard, or komatsuna, but it's neither mustard nor spinach! Whatever its name, this delicious, leafy green is milder than other mustards, very easy to grow, and quickly produces flat, smooth, dark, glossy green leaves. Nutrition facts Komatsuna is rich in calcium, potassium, iron, beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin K, niacin, and folic acid. Recognized for its nutrient content, komatsuna is particularly high in calcium, containing about three times the amount of spinach. This leafy green also contains vitamins B1 and B2, which promote metabolism, and is a good source of dietary fiber. As for phytochemicals, komatsuna contains lutein, which promotes eye health. Furthermore, komatsuna is low in oxalic acid, a compound known to cause kidney stones, making it suitable for eating raw. As it contains a lot of fat-soluble vitamins, cooking komatsuna with oil or eating it with foods that contain fats and oils promotes nutritional absorption. Eating komatsuna with soy products such as aburaage / thin deep-fried tofu, and other protein sources such as meat and fish, is also beneficial for promoting bone health and preventing anemia.
